    Non purchase region - can I connect once approved?

    I come from an region that is not supported for purchasing. Once my game is approved, will I be able to connect to other people who purchase the game? In other words, for the purpose of networking, is the game I submit for review exactly the same as the game that is for sale on XBLIG?

    I would assume so, but I just want to make sure as I'm planning on using Jon's distributed leaderboard and leaving my xbox on to help the score distribution.

    The code is the same but there is a private identifier used by Xbox live which will change.

    So peer review versions can connect to each other, and market place versions can connect to each other but marketplace cannot connect to peer review.

    You will need to use one of your 50 free codes to 'buy' your own game and then use that as your 'server' - I dont know if the codes work in otehr regions. If not there's no workaround.

    That is rather unfortunate - I have to buy my own game, but I'm not allowed to buy my own game.

    I highly doubt the tokens will work in an unsupported region - we can't even see the XBLIG channel, on the web or the dashboard.

    Thanks for the answer ZMan.
